About me
D U R I N G T H E L O C K D O W N SI shot my own film in my own house of Annie Fox's gorgeous script TROLL reprising the role of Carol.. TROLL was the WINNER of the People Choice Award ( from a worldwide field of 700 films) at the FFTG Award & the WINNER of the Best Monologue Award at PaperScreenPlay.
The film has, to date, been accepted into numerous film festivals & has also been NOMINATED for 6 Awards including Best Actress (Maverick Movie Awards), Best Debut Female Filmmaker (Grand Jury Prize FFTG Awards) & the Spirit Award (voted for by the other 130 filmmakers at the FFTG Awards).

I also had fun in some theatre work doing, eg, R & D on WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? for Tom Latter at Sheer Drop Theatre & BY THE THAMES AT LECHLADE ( by Mark Daniels ( of THE EXAM BOARD - see below.
